ahahahaha!
If this is a fakepost, it’s pretty good. If not… um… yeah.
I’m sorry for continuing the hijack, but a few years ago I saw a television show here, in Japan, about demonic possessions. As is often the case, it featured creepy dramatizations of “true” stories and choice excerpts from The Exorcist peppered throughout, with a studio group of tv personalities periodically commenting. Towards the end of the show, there was an exchange that went something like this: “Wow, that’s some creepy shit!”
-Yeah, I’m sure glad I’m not Catholic!
And, sorry, the song doesn’t ring a bell for me either.
That bit was a whoosh - just seeing who’s paying attention!
The rest is true, or at least “as reported”.
And not very good ones. What does “I won’t be a sinner for you because I died” mean?
I think she heard somewhere - maybe from one of her friends - that Jesus died for sinners, and she didn’t really get it but made up a song. My son (three years old) does stuff like that.
I have heard some born-again Christians describe their acceptance of Christ as the death of their old, sinful selves. Not that this is what jjim’s friend’s 4-year-old had in mind, but it’s just possible she could have heard something similar.
While I don’t discount this - indeed I think it’s the most probable explanation - you do have to appreciate just how atheist our society is here. It is still tremendously unlikely that people would say stuff like this in public, and also unlikely she heard this stuff by osmosis too. Though realistically, she must have heard it somewhere.
Some accidental bit of radio or television for a minute or two? Failing that, I might want to blame some other kid at the day nursery.
I hope she releases a single or at least puts it on YouTube. 
Oh, the “Captain Howdy” thing was a rotten trick, you know. Paying attention, yes, familiar with “The Exorcist”, no. Bad sinning Jjimm!
Ah, is she a terribly bright 4 year old who can read? I mean, you do see the occasional “get saved by the blood … don’t be a sinner …” bit of propaganda on occasional posters outside the very occasional church or “mission” or some such thing. Yeah, it’s sounding pretty unlikely, I know.
This is intriguing! I mean, it’s quite a well-made little song, isn’t it? Follows a fairly reasonable “pattern” for want of a better word.
I won’t be a sinner for you.
Actually, given that she lives in a wee English village of only 2,000 people, there are an awful lot of churches in it. There’s Quaker, Baptist, Methodist, CofE and Catholic. However, none of them have those billboard thingies outside them. And she can’t read.
But apart from that, good theory! 
Well, you are 'cos you showed up my lack of cultural knowledge re. “The Exorcist”, but so am I 'cos I neglected to bold your name and missed the edit window. Oh woe!
Tell you what, let us know ASAP if she does any forgiving as well as not sinning, eh? 
Ah, here’s a thought - she could even be sining “I won’t be a swinger for you” which might be even more alarming. :eek: Heh. Poor kid, having her motivations dissected on the Dope like this. Do keep this thread for when she’s a bit older and she can have a giggle at it.
It could be a great song of paradox about “I won’t be a singer for you”. But we still be none the wiser about the “died” part.
I’m not a parent, but I think you’re underestimating the capacity kids have for making stuff up.
Sorta, kinda, vaguely reminds me of Patti Smith’s “Jesus died for somebody’s sins, but not mine” intro to “Gloria.” At least it’s got the concepts of sin, death, and “not me.”
Those lyrics in the OP make the Vaselines song “Jesus Wants Me For a Sunbeam” start playing in my head. (Actually, the Nirvana cover of it.)
Don’t expect me to lie,
Don’t expect me to cry,
Don’t expect me to die for thee.
